−	Keeping up with the demands of ~~advancements~~ in multiple sites in a portfolio requires ~~the expertise of additional~~ tools, control, intelligence and strategic implementation of the resources at hand. Both in-house and outsourced facility management (FM) is growing exponentially with a total market for facilities management projected to grow from 1.24 trillion USD (in 2019) to a predicted ~~number of~~ 1.62 trillion ~~USD~~ by 2027. Consequently, FM has seen itself rising from an under-optimised resource to a fundamental support that enriches ~~the interaction with the facility, delights the stakeholders~~ and intelligently empowers ~~the~~ businesses.	+	Keeping up with the demands of advances in multiple sites in a portfolio requires, tools, control, intelligence and strategic implementation of the resources at hand.
